People say that beer making can be a burden but I beg to differ. As long as you have the right beer brewing supplies and as long as you have the interest, you could do it easily. Well, perhaps not SO easily but still you could do it, and do it well.
Beer production depends on three important things: beer brewing supplies, beer brewing equipment and LOVE. Naturally, you need to exert love and effort into preparing and making your beer because without them even the most advanced beer making supplies won't help the flavor of your concoction. Similarly, no matter how much sweat you invest in your creation, you won't get beer unless you have the basic supplies and equipment needed for such endeavor.
If you are a beginner, you may want to use a beer starter kit. Starter kits contain equipments that would enable someone to create around five gallons of beer. They usually include a fermenting bucket with an airlock, a bottling bucket, some priming sugar, a siphon unit, a thermometer, a few beer bottles and bottle caps, a sanitizer and a bottle brush and an instructional material on making homemade beer.
The fermenting bucket is what you will use to ferment your unfermented beer, which is otherwise known as the wort. Naturally, the airlock serves as the bucket's seal - keeping bacteria and oxygen at bay while letting carbon dioxide escape from the inside of the bucket. In addition, the thermometer is used to check the temperature of the beer while it ferments.
Once the beer has been fermented, it is transferred into the bottling bucket using the siphon unit. Prior to siphoning the beer to the bottling bucket, the priming sugar is added in the bucket so that it could mix with the beer later on.
Most bottling buckets have spigots attached to them. The spigots make it easier to fill the bottles with beer once the bottling process is completed.
The beer making ensemble also has a brush and sanitizer which are used for cleaning the bottles and the rest of the equipments so that they could be utilized over and over again. After all, it is very expensive to throw your beer brewing supplies and purchase new ones whenever you feel like brewing your own beer.
Of course, the most important beer brewing supply is perhaps the How-To book on homemade beer. It is a must - particularly if you are a novice in the field. I mean, how exactly you would be able to concoct your product if you don't even know the first step to making it? Without the intention of blasphemy, I can say that such step-by-step instructional material is the beer brewer's bible, without which, beer brewing supplies would not be able to achieve the purpose for which they have been made in the first place.
Now that you know the basics on beer brewing supplies, why don't you get started? It's fun and easy!
